  1. Bashing
Where are all the NR owners out there? I have been loving mine for the last year or so. What all does everyone have done to theirs?

I need to find my videos of my buddy jumping his (never had time to get any of mine). Lets see some pictures or videos.

Have a great ya'll!!
 
All I've done to mine is neglect it in the past 12 years...

I plan on getting it running again. Using the 2.5 out of my revo and or the lrp z.28 I have...
 
The ole rusty is my go to basher, shes always ready to go. I widened mine a little using either jato or slash RPM arms. dont quote me on which of those two I used, IDK or remember. Did a little porting to the sleeve and she ripps. Its cheap to run and it hauls arsinic.
 
Here's my thread, throw some pics up.
Yeah I have seen yours before. I love the look of your NS on road rig. I was thinking of buying a used NR and making it an on road and having my off road.

My buddy let his sit for almost eight years. Cleaned it up and the motor was locked up. Bought a new 2.5 and still has the old one. You should def clean it up and get bashing again :p:

I know what you mean I love my NR. It can take a beating like no other. Well I am assuming as this is the only RC I have lol. But I have put it through some nasty spills.

Here I did the EZ Off oven ccleaner to strip the chrome off the wheels. Need to clean them up a little.

One year with the Nitro rustler, 4 gallons through and still going strong (waiting for the rod to snap). Amazed by the punishment this thing is willing to take.

So far I have broken
Rear shock tower (rear tire exploded on a speed run)
Rear tires
Front camber link rod end (1/5 baja got in the way)
Glow plug wire (works but looks like poop)
Servo tabs cracked (overtightened from factory)
TX trigger decided to start going full throttle randomly if set to "50/50"
Cooling head protector won't stay on
